question on door panels ?
I thought I had looked at door panels that have a plastic backing on them??
does anyone know about these or have used this type,seems this would last better then the formed cardboard type.
I need to buy a set for my sled.
any help is appreciated.

Only the original door panels have a cardboard backing . The date of manufacture is stamped on the back as well. The factory had vapor/moisture barrier the protect the backing. Most are gone since they were a pain when servicing the door.
The plastic backing is better and even the vinyl is better formed then original but the fit can be a hassle.
Wait for a nice hot day and stick them in the sun to get hot. Then mount them and they will conform as they should.
Good Luck!
